Фауна пальцекрылок (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) Хакасии // Дальневосточный энтомолог. 2018. N 362. С. 21-24. Резюме. Приводится аннотированный список 17 видов пальцекрылок (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) республики Хакасcия, из них 15 видов впервые отмечаются для фауны данного региона. INTRODUCTION The Republic of Khakassia is located in southern Siberia in the left bank part of the Yenisei River basin, on the territories of the Altai-Sayan upland and the Khakassko-Minusinsk depression. Most of Khakassia is occupied by hills and mountains, and is rich in steppes, some parts of which are preserved in their natural form. There were no special works on the Pterophoridae fauna of Khakassia until now. The present work includes the materials collected during more that 30 years by the first author and other collectors in follow sites: Agaskyr – Ordzhonikidzevsky Distr., vil. Agaskyr, 528 m, 55°58′N, 89°19′E; Azrakov – Beyskiy Distr., vil. Azrakov, 306 m, 53°18′N, 90°53′E; Bele – Shira Distr., north banl of the lake Bele, 384 m, 54°41′N, 90°07′E; Berezovka – Altai Distr., vil. Berezovka, 53°24′N, 91°39′E; Bol'shoi On – Tashtyp Distr., vil. Bol'shoi On, 52°04′N, 89°45′E; Cheryomushki –32 km South of Sayanogorsk, Cheryomushki, 320 m, 52°50′N, 91°24′E; Efremkino – Shira Distr., The Bely lyus River valley, 2 km upstream of vil. Efremkino, 492 m, 54°27′N, 89°26′E; Itkol – Shira Distr., Shira-Inkol' lakes env., 54°27′N, 90°05′E; Kop'evo – Ordzhonikidzevsky Distr., hills NE of vil. Kop'evo, 54°59′N, 89°49′E; M. Syiya – Shira Distr., vil. Malaya Syiya, 54°24′N, 89°26′E; Shira – Shira Distr., neigh- borhoods of the vil. Shira, 350 m, 54°29′N, 89°57′E. 21 Despite the diversity of the natural landscapes and the favorable climate of Khakassia, only 17 Pterophoridae species have been reported from this territory, which is mostly explained by weak research intensity.

We assume that during the future research, at least 20 more species from such genera as Platyptilia, Stenoptilia, Amblyptilia, Hellinsia, Merrifieldia can be added to this list. For comparison, the Ptero- phoridae fauna of such neighboring republics as Altai and Tuva counts 53 and 37 species respectively (Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich, 2007, 2008, Ustjuzhanin et al., 2017), and there is no doubt that the species diversity of Pterophoridae in Khakassia is not less rich. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors are grateful for the assistance in collecting Pterophoridae on the territory of the Republic of Khakassia to V. Zinchenko, O. Kosterin, (Novosibirsk, Russia), R. Yakovlev (Barnaul, Russia), M. Shcherbakov (Tomsk, Russia), and K. Tomkovich (Moscow, Russia).

E-mail: [email protected] New data on Pterophoridae from Afghanistan are considered. A checklist of Pterophoridae species of the fauna of Afghanistan is presented, as including 32 species of 14 genera. Merrifieldia tridactyla is for the first time recorded for the fauna of Afghanistan. The basic literature on the Afghanistan Pterophoridae were used in the study. Key words: Pterophoridae, plume moths, Afghanistan, fauna, new data. INTRODUCTION Many Pterophoridae as Cossidae are specific inhabitants of the arid regions of the Palaearctic. Usually deserts are good zoogeographical barriers preventing from mixing the faunas of different zoogeographical regions (Yakovlev & Dubatolov 2013; Yakovlev, 2015; Yakovlev et al., 2015). Until now there were no special publications on Pterophoridae from Afghanistan. The first description of a new species of Pterophoridae, Stenoptilia nurolhaki, from Afghanistan was in the work by Amsel (1967), In a series of works by Ernst Arenberger (1981, 1987, 1995), six new species were described from Afghanistan.

The life history, external characters of the adult, male and female genitalia, final instar larva, and pupa are described and illustrated. This moth species is widely distributed in the páramo. Larvae cause damage in meristem leaves of frailejones (Espeletia spp., Asteraceae). Identification and continuing studies of this moth are important to determine its potential role in the reported death of numerous frailejones in the area. The hosts, Espeletia grandiflora and E. uribei are some of the keystone species of the páramo ecosytem. Resumen - Se describe Oidaematophorus espeletiae, sp. nov del páramo de Chingaza, Colombia. Se describen e ilustran la historia de vida, caracteres externos del adulto, genitalia de macho y hembra, último instar larval, y pupa. Esta polilla se encuentra ampliamente distribuida en el páramo. Las larvas ocasionan daños en las hojas del meristemo de los frailejones (Espeletia spp., Asteraceae).

    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Zeitschrift der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Entomologen Jahr/Year: 2006 Band/Volume: 58 Autor(en)/Author(s): Arenberger Ernst Artikel/Article: Pterophoridae von den Kapverden (Lepidoptera). 67-76 ©Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Entomologen, Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Z.Arb.Gem.Öst.Ent. 58 67-76 Wien, 6. 12. 2006 ISSN 0375-5223Z. Pterophoridae von den Kapverden (Lepidoptera) Ernst ARENBERGER Abstract Ten species of Pterophoridae from Cabo Verde are listed. Hellinsia aistleitneri sp. nov. is new to science. The genitalia of most species are illustrated as well as the imago of the new species. Two taxa are represented by only one specimen each, and therefore their identity can not be determined satisfactorily. Keywords: Lepidoptera. Pterophoridae. Hellinsia aistleitneri sp. n. Fauna of Cabo Verde. Zusammenfassung Insgesamt werden 10 Arten der Familie Pterophoridae aufgelistet, wovon Hellinsia aist- leitneri sp. n. als neue Art in die Wissenschaft eingeführt wird. 2 Taxa liegen nur jeweils in einem Exemplar vor. Ihre Identität konnte bisher nicht geklärt werden. Von allen Arten werden, soweit vorhanden, die Genitale abgebildet, von Hellinsia aistleitneri sp. n. auch die Imago. Einleitung ARECHAVALETA, M., ZURITA, N., MARRERO M. C. & MARTIN J. L. (Hrsgb.) 2005 führen in ihrer Liste der Pterophoridae von den Kapverden insgesamt vier Arten an: Agdistis tama- ricis (ZELLER, 1847), Marasmarcha pumilio ZELLER, 1873, Sphenarches anisodactylus (WALKER, 1864) und Trichoptilus congrualis WALKER, 1864. Hierzu ist eine systemati- sche Korrektur notwendig. Der derzeit gültige Name für Marasmarcha pumilio ZELLER, 1873 lautet Hepalastis pumilio (ZELLER, 1873), für Trichoptilus congrualis WALKER, 1864 steht Megalorhipida leucodactyla (FABRICIUS, 1794).

Arenberger Zusammenfassung 34 Arten von Pterophoridae werden für das Untersuchungsgebiet festgestellt. Stenoptilia convexa sp. n. und St. poculi sp. n. werden als neue Arten beschrieben. Die Imagines der neuen Arten und deren Genitalien werden abgebildet. Summary A total of 34 species is listed for the Kaukasus region. Stenoptilia convexa sp. n. and St. poculi sp. n. are described as new. The imagines and the genital ia of the new species are depicted. Key words: Kaukasus, Lepidoptera, Microlepidoptera, Pterophoridae, Palaearctic Region, Russia, taxonomy. Einleitung In vorliegender Arbeit wird das Resultat der Bearbeitung von Ausbeuten verschiedener Expeditionen in das Untersuchungsgebiet publiziert. Herr J. Jalava, Helsinki, sammelte in der Umgebung des Elbrus Gebirges. Als Ergebnis liegen zahlreiche Funde von Pterophoridae vor, von denen Stenoptilia convexa sp. n. und St. poculi sp. n. als neue Arten erkannt wurden. Bei zwei Sammelreisen in das armenische Kaukasus-Gebiet durch E. und A. Vartian zusammen mit F. Kasy, Wien, wurden ebenfalls zahlreiche Pterophoridae erbeutet. Diese Sammeltätigkeit erstreckte sich vor allem auf die Umgebung des Klosters Geghard im weiteren Umland von Eriwan. Weiteres Material liegt vor von einigen Reisen der Herren Alberti, Eichler, Muche, Müller und Steuer, die teilweise zusammen mit deren Gattinnen unternommen worden sind. Deren bevorzugtes Sammelgebiet war die Umgebung von Teberda mit einigen Funden aus Georgien, aus der Umgebung von Tbilissi. All diesen Damen und Herren sei dafür gedankt, daß sie bereitwillig ihr Material zur Bearbeitung zur Verfügung stellten, bzw. die Ausbeuten dem Autor überließen.
